I want to use --min-size to copy just large files (and their necessary
parent directories), but everything I've tried copies *all* the source
directories, and creates them empty on the destination even if they
don't have any big files in them. I only want the minimal directory
hierarchies that contain the big files. This doesn't work:
$ rm -rf /tmp/foo
$ rsync -ai --min-size 10M --prune-empty-dirs /home/idallen/test /tmp/foo
cd+++++++++ test/
cd+++++++++ test/dir1/
cd+++++++++ test/dir2/
cd+++++++++ test/dir3/
cd+++++++++ test/dir4/
>f+++++++++ test/dir4/BIGFILE
cd+++++++++ test/dir5/
>f+++++++++ test/dir5/BIGFILE
cd+++++++++ test/dir6/
>f+++++++++ test/dir6/BIGFILE
Wrong. I don't want all those dir1, dir2, dir3 empty directories.
I don't want *any* empty directories, at any level.
What am I missing?
